The applicant requests approval of this variance in order to obtain a building permit for interior alterations to accommodate an additional restaurant use on the subject lands. Recommendation The City Development Department considers the increase to the maximum permitted gross leasable floor area for Restaurants-Type A to 495 square metres plus a restaurant patio space of 53 squares metres to be minor in nature that is desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Official Plan and the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variance, subject to the following condition: 1. That the applicant obtains a building permit for the proposed construction for the proposed restaurant use by February 5, 2016, or this decision shall become null and void. Background On November 15, 1999, Council passed a site-specific zoning by-law for the subject property to permit various service commercial uses including, but not limited to: • business offices • dry cleaning depots • personal service shops • professional offices and • • restaurants-type A Report P/CA 06/14 February 5, 2014 6 Page 2 The site specific by-law included provisions to restrict the maximum aggregate gross floor area for certain uses including Restaurant-Type A to ensure that no one single use • dominates the building, and to ensure that adequate parking is provided to accommodate such uses. The zoning by-law currently restricts Restaurant-Type A uses to a maximum aggregate gross leasable floor area of 300 square metres. The City of Pickering defines Restaurant-Type A uses for the subject property as: "a building or part of a building where food is prepared and offered or kept for retail sale to the public for immediate consumption on or off the premises, or both..." On August 17, 2011, the Committee of Adjustment approved a minor variance application (P/CA 30/11) to increase the maximum aggregate gross leasable floor area for Restaurant-Type A uses to 439 square metres and to recognize an existing restaurant patio space totalling 53 square metres. The variance was required to support an expansion to the existing Zerra by the Bay restaurant and an associated outdoor patio on the south side of the building facing Liverpool Road. Comment Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan—"Mixed Use Area—Local Node"within the Bay Ridges Neighbourhood The property is also subject to the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines— Liverpool Road Corridor. The Guidelines provide direction on neighbourhood development at a more detailed level than the Pickering Official Plan. The Guidelines for the Liverpool Road Corridor encourage pedestrian walkability as well as tourism and service commercial establishments that compliment the marina, recreation and waterfront trail uses leading into the Waterfront Node. The proposal generally conforms with the intent of the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines. • Zoning By-law 2520, as amended by By-law 5580/99—"LCA-10"— Local Central Area • Zone Appropriateness of the Application Variance to Increase the Maximum Aggregate Gross Leasable Floor Area for Restaurants-Type A • the intent of restricting the maximum aggregate gross leasable floor area for all Restaurant-Type A uses is to provide a variety of commercial-related uses and to ensure that adequate parking is provided on-site Report P/CA 06/14 February 5, 2014 Page 3 27 • the applicant has advised that the proposed variance is intended to support a future Subway restaurant within an existing commercial unit(totalling approximately 106 square metres), located on the northwest corner of the building • the applicant has advised that the site currently has 4 vacant units (the equivalent of approximately 30 percent of the total gross floor area) • with the increase in maximum aggregate gross leasable floor area to accommodate the Subway restaurant, approximately 26 percent of the building will contain Restaurant-Type A uses • the proposed increase in aggregate floor area for Restaurant-Type A uses will not preclude future opportunities to incorporate a variety of service-related commercial uses on the subject property complimenting the Liverpool Road Corridor • the applicant has advised that the proposed restaurant will primarily accommodate take-out customers which typically has a lower parking demand, therefore the impact on parking is anticipated to be minimal • no external expansions to the building are proposed through this application • the requested increase to the maximum aggregate floor area for all Restaurant- Type A uses are minor in nature and meets the intent and purpose of the Official Plan, the Liverpool Road Waterfront Node Development Guidelines and the Zoning By-law Input From Other Sources Doug Dickerson • supports the proposal City Councillor—Ward 2 • the intersection of Liverpool Road and Krosno Boulevard is the entry way into the Nautical Village • • leasable space in the building has stood empty and uninviting to the surrounding residents • surrounding area has a number of excellent food venues with numbers of customers continuing to increase as the attraction of the Nautical Village and Millennium Square becomes more widely known Nick Givalas • objects to the applicant's proposal 711 Krosno Boulevard • did not object to the previous variance which was granted in 2011 (which increased the maximum aggregate floor area from 300 to 439 square metres) since it had the potential to bring traffic into the building • applicant's proposal will increase to the original floor area restriction for restaurants within the building by 65 percent • the immediate area already provides a variety of fast food choices for the public • Report P/CA 06/14 February 5, 2014 28 Page 4 • the immediate area currently experience problems with nightly loitering • the existing building should be marketed for alternate commercial spaces for lease that will benefit the neighbourhood Date of report: January 30, 2014 Comments prepared by: ''r ./ A ey Yearw , CIP, RPP flesh Surti, MCIP, RPP Planner II Manager, Development Review & Urban Design AY:NS:Id J:1DonanentsVeveldpment113-3700 CemMttee of Ad oslment(PGA AppOradons)120141PCA 0614 Building 23 Inc 1Repom'PCA 0614.doc Enclosures • • • • • • ?9 �_— -- -- .

Report to Committee of Adjustment PI Cillahair Application Number: P/CA 07/14 3.l Meeting Date: February 5, 2014 From: Nilesh Surd, MCIP, RPP Manager, Development Review& Urban Design Subject: Committee of Adjustment Application P/CA 07/14 K.Selimovski 1756 Woodview Avenue • Application The applicant requests relief from the following provisions of Zoning By-law 3036, as amended: • to permit a minimum rear yard depth of 6.0 metres to an existing covered deck and a proposed second storey platform, whereas the by-law requires a minimum rear yard depth of 7.5 metres • to permit a maximum lot coverage of 35 percent, whereas the by-law permits a , maximum lot coverage of 33 percent • to recognize an existing accessory structure (shed) setback a minimum of 0.4 metres from the rear lot line and 0.2 metres from the south side lot line, whereas the by-law requires a minimum of 1.0 metre from all lot lines The applicant requests approval of these variances in order to obtain a building permit for an existing covered deck in the rear yard and to accommodate a proposed second storey platform, including a railing, above the existing deck. The applicant is also requesting zoning compliance for an existing accessory structure (shed) in the rear yard. Recommendation The City Development Department considers the minimum rear yard depth of 6.0 metres to a proposed second storey platform, including a railing, above the existing deck, to be a major variance that is not desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and not in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Refusal of the proposed variance. The City Development Department considers the minimum rear yard depth of 6.0 metres to an existing covered deck, with no second storey railing, maximum lot coverage of 35 percent and an accessory structure to be setback a minimum of 0.2 metres from the south side lot line and 0.4 metres from the rear lot line to be minor variances that are desirable for the appropriate development of the land, and in keeping with the general intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law, and therefore recommends Approval of the proposed variances subject to the following conditions: Report P/CA 07/14 February 5, 2014 32 Page 2 1. That these variances apply only to the existing covered deck, with no second' storey railing, and existing shed as generally sited and outlined on the applicant's submitted plans. 2. That the applicant obtain a building permit for the existing covered deck and shed by February 5, 2016, or this decision shall become null and void. Background In July 2012, the applicant submitted a minor variance application (P/CA 45/12) to permit a rear yard depth of 6.0 metres to a proposed 2 storey deck onto the rear of the existing detached dwelling, to permit a total lot coverage of 37 percent and to recognize a west rear yard depth of 0.4 metres and a south side yard width of 0.2 metres to an existing shed. The Committee of Adjustment approved the minor variances for the shed and a covered one storey deck, by removing the railings on the second storey deck. The decision of the Committee of Adjustment expired on July 25, 2013, as no building permit had been obtained for the deck. The current minor variance application is seeking similar permissions as the previous application (P/CA 45/12). Official Plan and Zoning By-law Pickering Official Plan— "Urban Residential Area — Low Density Area"—within the Rougemount Neighbourhood Zoning By-law 3036—"R4— Single Detached Dwelling Appropriateness of the Application Rear Yard Variance to an Existing Covered Deck and a Proposed Second Storey Platform • the intent of the minimum rear yard setback is to provide an appropriate separation from abutting properties to ensure privacy, protect views, ensure openness and to provide an adequate amenity area • staff are concerned that the second storey platform would negatively impact adjoining properties to the south and west with respect to privacy, views and openness and, given the size of the platform, it would also allow for potential increases in the activities on the second storey which would have a greater negative impact on adjoining property owners • the impact of the proposed second storey deck would not be in keeping with the character of the surrounding area, and would result in an inappropriate scale of development in relation to the built form that has been established in the neighbourhood Report P/CA 07/14 February 5, 2014 Page 333 • staff continue to support the decision of the Committee of Adjustment from July 25, 2014 to approve the existing covered deck as it maintains adequate amenity area and ensures separation from abutting properties to protect privacy • the requested variance for the existing covered deck is minor, however staff believe that the proposed second stored platform, including railings is a major variance that is not desirable for the appropriate development of the land and not in keeping with the intent and purpose of the Zoning By-law Accessory Structure Setback Variance • the intent of the zoning by-law for accessory buildings to provide a minimum 1.0 metre setback from lot lines is to ensure that adequate space is available for maintenance, that the eaves/overhangs do not encroach on adjacent properties, that roof drainage stays on the subject property, and that the visual impact on adjacent properties is minimized • the existing setback of 0.2 metres and 0.4 metres to an existing accessory structure is an existing situation that has not negatively impacted adjacent properties, as it has been existing for numerous years • there have been no complaints regarding the roof drainage, maintenance and visual impact of the existing structure affecting abutting properties • the requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the subject lands and is in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law • Lot Coverage Variance • the intent of the maximum lot coverage provision is to maintain an appropriate amount of outdoor amenity area that is uncovered by buildings or structures and to regulate the maximum size and mass of buildings on a lot • the increase in lot coverage is required due to the size of the accessory structure and covered deck on the lot • an adequate outdoor private amenity area is being provided on the lot • the increase in lot coverage will not alter the character of the subject property or the surrounding neighbourhood • the requested variance is minor in nature, desirable for the appropriate development of the subject lands and is in keeping with the intent of the Official Plan and Zoning By-law Agency Comments: Engineering & Public Works • concerns with the location of the accessory structure which may block drainage and the roof drainage may cause issues on the neighbour's property • requested that the accessory structure be moved to the minimum required setback of 1.0 metre Report P/CA 07/14 February 5, 2014 34 Page 4 Date of report: January 30, 2014 • Comments prepared by: /4/ j/k4gdialk_ Melissa Markham, MCIP, RPP Nilesh Surti, MCIP, RPP Principal Planner— Development Review Manager, Development Review & Urban Design MM:Id J:1Documentseevelupnenf0-3700 Committee of Adjustment(PCA Appfications)120141PCA 07-14 K.SeInnovsk0RepordRepo0.00c Enclosures • • • • 35 w El 0 ? =I_=�?= PUBLIC SCHOOL BUTTERNUT CRT.- I- z-_ 6 ,1-1 Q x 11_91110 0�1N111U a8 w a LLI W#/9011111111 W -- 0�'M 511111111110_ MI r •,,, ` LANCREST ST. >El �qTI��\\ � � �i il WEST LANE 3 _ =—id= /,,0r0 0 Y ��=,,,j, =w� .
